My cousin PJ gets crazy just as much as he can A real party reptile for a northern man He's dressed like a republican He thinks conservative But he drives faster than I ever did He's into nuclear power and insider deals He has a scene with baby oil and heels He's my favorite politician When he comes on weird Says I'm not fit for this office let's get out of here My, my, loves his ma and apple pie Well, well, he's the party's favorite guy I hope you like it You know I'm going to take good care of you I hope you like it I hope next time you bring your friends with you He's a drinkin', huntin', shootin', fishin' son of a gun He knows a surgeon's gonna keep his wife young Got industrial kickbacks in an offshore bank Knows who to stand on and he knows how to thank I hope you like it You know I'm going to take good care of you I hope you like it I hope next time you bring your friends with you My, my, loves his ma and apple pie Well, well, he's the party's favorite guy He likes to come take me for a night with the boys He talks about the NRA and their toys Got an automatic rifle in his pick up truck He drives me home when he's in no state to walk My, my, loves his ma and apple pie Well, well, he's the party's favorite guy I hope you like it You know I'm going to take good care of you I hope you like it I hope next time you bring your friends with you I hope you like it Love it, like it I hope you like it Love it, like it
